What this tool does: Sneakers CONVERSE Ctas Hi A00543C White Light Dew Lime Rave Sneakers BIOMECANICS 222220-C S Blanci Y Fucsia for a given duration and distance. You supply two of the variables—pace, distance, and time—and the calculator produces the missing one.

Note: The calculator answers in terms of the variables you choose. So if you enter variables of 5 kilometers and 30:00, the pace provided will be 6:00 per kilometer.

If you normally do your runs at 8-minute pace, but it’s a really humid day, or its raining, or its snowing—you could be running the same effort it would take to run an 8 minute mile even though you may actually be running slower.
It’s key to remember that while numbers are important, they’re not everything; listen to your body, be aware of the conditions you can’t control, and most importantly have fun while you run!
